The National Packaging Covenant, continued

Case Study 3: RETHINK

Biodegradable plastic bagOne company has done research into plastic bags under the National Packaging Covenant. They have found a plastic that is strong but will break apart when it is composted or put in landfill.

It takes just eight weeks to decompose, compared to some shopping bags that can take up to 1,000 years! And when the bag breaks down it does not leave any harmful residues in the soil

You can find out more about the National Packaging Covenant by visiting the Australian Packaging Council website at www.packcoun.com.au, or Environment Australia's website at www.ea.gov.au.
